Fade Away Lyrics

My name used to hang around the tongues

Of every critic turned admirer from the papers in this town

And I walked the dreams of pretty girls

With eyes of green and golden curls but where are they now

I looked away for just a moment not knowing what to say

So this is how it feels to fade away

Nobody gets it right on their first try

You gotta see we were doing something real

We played the clubs and drive all night

Slept on floors and had our stupid fights

And after all the crowds have gone

We're left there wondering what went wrong

After all the beer is gone I still like to play our songs

Song song a funny little melody

A tune from somewhere in a dream

Sing a song for me

Song song a funny little melody

Half remembered from a dream

Sing a song for me

Sing a song for me

Sing a song for me

Sing a song for me

Blackberry Hill they saw what I killed

And though my friend was close behind

I fired first well shouldn't that hurt

But in truth I feel alright

I'm free from days spent

Wondering what-ifs and could-have-beens

I'm free from all that pain
